CALL TO ORDER
Approval of Minutes
NEW BUSINESS
• BLT rolling out MTSS
• Working with consultant to condense all existing positive behavioral supports
and interventions into a more cohesive framework so as to provide consistent
language. e.g. Bucket Filling, Grit, Effort Meter, TRRFCC, 5 School Rules, etc.
• Providing explicit teaching of school expectations and behaviors (e.g.
expectations for cafeteria, recess, hallways, dismissal, etc.,)
• Food Allergy and Student Safety
• Growing number of students with severe allergies. We will be tightening up
our policies regarding food in the classroom and school events.
• Donna suggested that it might be worth having a dialogue /forum to discuss
food allergies and student safety. Donna also suggested discussing this topic
at the next PTO meeting.
This concluded New Business.
